- There were old hags long ago, and their names were Ellen Gargan who lived in Ballyglass, and Kitty Calway who lived in "Bail na h-abhainn", and Biddy Meenan who lived in "Bail na Breothain".
The people were afraid of them, because every where they went, they carried a broom with them, and any person they might see they used to hit them.
They were kind of witches, and they could fly on the brooms.
